Steve graduated from Spooner High School in 1975 and proudly served in the U.S. Army National Guard. He married Apryl Daniels on Dec. 14, 2001, and together they shared nearly 19 wonderful years together. Steve had many occupations in his life, but retired from the Operators Engineer Union 139. He was a very proud union man. He enjoyed playing euchre with his card buddies and playing Bingo up north with his Bingo pals. Steve mostly loved spending time with family. He had a huge heart and shared it with everyone. Steve wanted everyone to know that he lived an adventurous life and he didn't regret a thing. He did not want a funeral or for tears to be shed. He wanted everyone to remember all the good times shared with him. Steve requested that his ashes be spread at Cyclone Lake- a special place to him.
